    If all that is happening in any church could be reproduced by human hype or ability, why should that church exist? Are we a Live Church or is our pulse weakening?

    Live Churches vs. Dead Churches Acts 5:12-20 12 The apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders among the people. And all the believers used to meet together in Solomon’s Colonnade. 13 No one else dared join them, even though they were highly regarded by the people. 14 Nevertheless, more ...read more

    A Tour through Acts ~ part 8 A Great Church is a Joyously Worshiping Church Acts 2:46-47a Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. (+ NIV) ...read more

    The church of Philadelphia and Smyrna were two churches that the Lord Jesus did not have any words of condemnation for.

    Does this mean they were perfect? Absolutely not! For example, the Bible tells us that Job was perfect and upright man. Does that mean Job was perfect and sinless? No, the only perfect sinless man to walk on this earth was the Lord Jesus. Let me explain how the word PERFECT IS USED IN THE ...read more

    These eight words in the scriptures that I just read to you are some of the most important words in the scriptures for us Christians.

    Why? Because this verse of scripture tells us to BE STILL and then it tells us why we should be still…to KNOW GOD. Some people live their entire life KNOWING THERE IS A GOD BUT NOT KNOWING GOD. I want to ask you a question, DO YOU KNOW GOD? You might say preacher that is the most RIDICULOUS ...read more
